Summary

Faced with missed client calls at PalmLeaf Massage & Wellness, I engineered the Grace AI Receptionist, a 24/7 voice and chat agent powered by n8n, Vapi, and FastAPI. I architected a background-syncing system that delivers instant 2.5-second responses. To eliminate the need for human callers, I architected a highly scalable, serverless AI Outbound Sales Agent (Python, Telnyx, Google Workspace) that autonomously qualifies leads, handles objections, and books meetings. Managed entirely via a single Google Sheet, the system dynamically scales to process 200+ calls daily for just ~$235/month, allowing the team to instantly adjust concurrent call volume with zero server maintenance. To deliver instant real-time risk assessments in Ready2Go, I built a centralized data engine that automatically ingests live feeds from 11 different government APIs, completely eliminating slow dashboard loading times. To automate the review of complex business continuity plans in Ready2Go, I engineered an end-to-end AI pipeline utilizing a Weaviate vector database to read, process, and evaluate user-uploaded documents to assign automated quality scores. Faced with AI hallucination issues in risk reporting, I designed strict prompt guardrails that force the model to extract only hard facts like exact dates and financial damages, stopping the AI from guessing.

What I did

  • Structured deployments by isolating FastAPI backend, PostgreSQL, Weaviate, and n8n background workers into separate Docker containers.
  • Implemented asynchronous FastAPI backend to handle concurrent voice streams without blocking the main thread.
  • Scaled backend services using Gunicorn with multiple Uvicorn workers behind a load balancer.
  • Built an agentic workflow for the Business Continuity Vault project to read and score large corporate risk documents.

Results

  • Delivered instant 2.5-second responses for voice/chat agent.
  • Scaled outbound sales system to 200+ calls daily for ~$235/month.
  • Eliminated slow dashboard loading times by ingesting 11 government APIs.
  • Automated quality scoring for business continuity plans using Weaviate.
  • Eliminated AI hallucinations in risk reporting through strict prompt guardrails.

Summary

Designed the Lumina core system connecting a standard phone network to an advanced conversational AI, enabling the company to deploy intelligent, voice-based agents over phone calls. Built an N8N-style Agentic AI System in Lumina that connects chatbots to 20+ business tools (Google Sheets, CRMs, APIs) allows AI to perform actions like saving data to Google Sheets, checking order status, booking appointments. To enable sophisticated, human-like automated conversations, I engineered an end-to-end voice AI pipeline (VAD → STT → LLM → TTS) with dynamic persona templates, empowering the agent to conduct nuanced, role-specific dialogues. Enabled the AI to provide highly accurate, client-specific answers by building a custom knowledge base for each client using a Weaviate vector database and an information retrieval (RAG) pipeline. To create bilingual (Urdu/English) voice for the AI, Currently fine-tuning a Text-to-Speech (TTS) model on Common Voice dataset, eliminating the robotic sound for a more natural user experience.

What I did

  • Built an async FastAPI backend with PostgreSQL logging to manage concurrent call volume.
  • Used VAD to filter background noise and paired transcripts with a Weaviate RAG pipeline to maintain accuracy on noisy phone lines.

Results

  • Connected chatbots to 20+ business tools.
  • Engineered end-to-end voice AI pipeline (VAD, STT, LLM, TTS).
  • Implemented RAG pipeline with Weaviate for client-specific knowledge bases.
  • Fine-tuned TTS model on Common Voice dataset for bilingual support.
  • Maintained end-to-end response times between 1.5 and 2.5 seconds for the full VAD, STT, LLM, and TTS loop.
  • Handled around 50 simultaneous calls without audio drops or database bottlenecks.

Summary

Faced with slow marketing decision-making, I designed an AI agent to generate marketing strategies, forecast trends, and answer key business questions - reducing planning time by 40% and improving campaign accuracy. To boost brand visibility across platforms, I built an automation tool that created and scheduled social media posts with personalized captions & dynamic images, smart hashtags, and ideal timing - leading to a 60% increase in engagement and saving 30+ hours per week. To support NFT model training, I developed a pipeline that automatically collected and cleaned NFT images and metadata - accelerating dataset preparation by 5× and ensuring seamless input for text-to-image AI models.

Results

  • Reduced planning time by 40% and improved campaign accuracy.
  • Increased engagement by 60% and saved 30+ hours per week through automation.
  • Accelerated NFT dataset preparation by 5×.

Rahbar - UpliftAI Hackathon

Lead Developer / Designerpersonal
To make the web accessible to millions in Pakistan facing literacy barriers, I designed and built 'Rahbar,' a conversational AI that transforms the visual web into a fully interactive audio experience, enabling users to browse, search, and understand content using only their voice. Engineered an intelligent page analysis agent that identifies all interactive elements (links, forms, buttons) and provides step-by-step vocal guidance, effectively translating complex visual layouts into simple, actionable audio commands (e.g., 'Say click contact us to proceed'). To expand Rahbar into a full productivity partner, I integrated Google Suite APIs (Gmail, Calendar) and local file system operations, empowering users to manage emails, check schedules, and perform file CRUD tasks purely through conversation.
